Swami Vivekananda Says............... How to attain purity living this life? Shall we all go to the forest caves? What good it would do? If the mind is not under control, it is no use living in a cave because the same mind will bring disturbances there. We will find twenty devils in the cave because all the devils are in mind. If the mind is under control, we can have the cave anywhere, wherever we are. It is our own mental attitude which makes the world what it is for us. Our thoughts make things beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see things in proper light. CW I 440-41
